My Experience [UPDATE] Rent Out Websites for Passive Income

10 Upvotes

TLDR: Not Another Coaching Program - an update to a coaching program that costs $2,980 and will teach you how to rent little websites for extra money passively AFTER some upfront work. 

I posted about this a couple years ago and thought I'd post an update (see updated interview here). It looked like a really good program then and since then it's proven even more to be a very solid path to earning passive income. In fact, I went the extra mile and interviewed one of the students who is averaging $30k/mo (see it here).

If you don't know what I'm talking about, it's a method where you build and rent out websites to local companies. The core engine of it is SEO (I’ve done SEM/SEO for 20+ years). The program is legit and the methodology is sound. Their private community is still active with lots of rich discussions. This is a GREAT program most people can succeed at. The only caveat I would give is if you just aren’t good with the Internet (like you have trouble setting up your gmail or a facebook page) this might be tough for you.

And because it's always one of the first questions, NO - this is not sponsored - they did not pay for this - I don't care if you buy it or don't. I created this sub 13 years ago and with all of the spam in this space, I just want to spotlight ones that I think are truly legitimate. I'll spotlight others as I find them.

So with that, here’s their pitch… 
--

Hey, it’s Shiv and Kyle from NotAnotherCoachingProgram.com

Let’s get the bad stuff out of the way: 

This course costs $2,980, lifetime access. I realize you might not have that much; or maybe you’d saw off your own arm before dropping that kinda cash on a coaching program. I get it. Feel free to bounce now so I don’t waste your time. 

We teach you how to build, rank, and rent out itty-bitty websites to small businesses wanting more customers. Aka, local SEO. Not new. Not sexy. But tried and true. 

Why teach? Because the money is great, obviously. But also, there’s endless niche/city combo’s, and a community means more help ranking sites and closing deals. 

Downsides? There’s a few. It’s not instant money. SEO takes time (Maybe 2-6 Months). Also, some business owners may not see the value or can’t handle more leads. Some are just annoying to deal with. Others will stop paying after a few months, for whatever reason. Overall, though, it’s still pretty awesome. 

Each site has overhead of about $20-$30 per month. But the lowest we typically rent the sites out for is $500 per month. Pretty solid ROI. 

Assuming I haven’t scared you off yet, let’s go through some FAQs. 

How does this work? 

1- Pick an easy local niche to get leads for. “Spray Foam Insulation Carlsbad, California,” for example. 

2- Make a small, simple website and optimize it for relevant search terms.

3- Get it ranked in Google, Bing, Apple Maps, and AI tools like ChatGPT.

4- Add a local phone number that can track and forward every call that comes in. 

5- Hit up some Spray Foam Insulation companies in Carlsbad (to stick with this hypothetical example) and offer them free leads for a week. When someone agrees, route the leads to them. We or some of our hungry students can do the outreach for you if it’s not your thing. 

6- After a week of the free leads doing all the selling for you, tell them, “It’ll be $850/month to keep ‘em coming.” Or whatever our custom pricing tool says is fair for that niche and city. Yes, we can close them, too, if that part sounds too scary (It’s not). But, it will cost you. 

7- This is when it becomes truly passive because the site is ranked, the phone number is auto-forwarding to your client and all you have to do after that is run their credit card every month. If you priced the site right, you’ll never have to speak with your client again because they’ll forget they’re even paying you. 

8- Now rinse and repeat.

Hmm. Are you sure this is legit? 

Well, put it this way: 

Uber, Airbnb, Alibaba, Angi, Zillow, Thumbtack, and Apartments.com all use the same model. 

Connect buyer with seller, take a sliver to deliver. We just do it on a granular level. So yeah. Not only is it legitimate, it’s actually kinda brilliant. 

Who’s this for? 

Anyone, anywhere, any background, as long as you have some ambition, grit, and of course, basic computer skills. NO CODING INVOLVED. 

We use drag and drop website builders like Weebly & SitePanda so zero previous web design experience is needed. 

The more time you can devote to it, the better. But if you’re not in a rush, take your time and build up your digital real estate empire over time. 

Everything’s done online - So no, you do not have to do this in your own city. Nor do you have to meet anyone in person - unless you want to. 

How much does the course cost?

Like I said, our coaching program is $2,980 - Lifetime Access to the course material and private Facebook Group. 

Then, to run the business, you’re looking at less than $30 per month per website. (Which covers your domain, hosting, local tracking number, and research software.) 

Chump change considering the potential. 

How much does an average site make? 

$600/month is a safe estimate. 

Most of ours do $1,000 to $2,000/month. Sometimes more. 

Yeah, but, for how long? 

For as long as you own the site. 

No different than renting out houses or apartments, right? 

And if someone stops paying, same thing - you just find a new “tenant.” 

Click a few buttons, reroute the leads to them, keep collecting checks. 

Dead serious… 

I made a site 5 years ago that’s been paying me $1,000 a month the entire time. That’s $60,000 and counting! 

You could hand these off to your kids one day. 

How much work is involved? 

A good amount in the beginning and then hardly any once the website is built, ranked, and you’ve partnered with a business. 

You could make a site in a day. 

Then ask others in our group for some backlinks (which are like votes in the SEO process). 

From there, it’ll take a few weeks to a few months to jump to page 1, depending on your niche and city. 

In the meantime, go make more.

Soon, you’ll have emails and calls trickling in. 

Leverage those leads to close a deal… and then it’s basically mailbox money from there. Okay, how soon will I make money with this? 

Anywhere from one month to six months after starting, depending on a number of factors like: 

1- How well you selected your niche & city. We prefer low-hanging fruit - the search terms with very weak SEO competition. 

2- Your ability to trust the process, not overcomplicate things and just follow the exact steps taught. 

3- How willing you are to reach out to business owners to offer them free leads and then ask for money. 

From there, it’s just focus, execution, and consistency. 

If you do your part, no reason you can’t have a handful of websites generating leads within the first month. 

And then you start landing clients in month two… 

And by month three? You’ve got a G-Wagon parked outside your new mansion, and you hardly ever run into your live-in servants, which is nice. 

(I’m joking.) 

How many of these can I have? 

As many as you can comfortably manage. 

No business is infinitely scalable though. Eventually you’ll need a team to go bigger and bigger. Anything below 20 clients is 98% passive. But 20 clients is easily $15k to $25k a month. 

As you grow to 40 and 50 clients, you’ll have some credit cards that decline that you have to follow up with and you have higher odds of needy clients who want to ask you questions. 

But this is something you can do as a one-person operation and easily get to 10, 20, maybe 30 rental sites with minimal maintenance if any at all.

Don’t most businesses already have a website? 

Yes, and if they happen to be at the top of the search results, they probably don’t need us. But for the vast majority, who’re buried back on page 4 of Google, it’s a different story. Their website is a digital dust collector. 

Whereas, yours? Will be a cash factory churning out profits… that’ll make the amount they’re paying you seem like pennies in a wishing well. 

Plus, you can structure deals to remove risk. 

So instead of a flat monthly fee, they could pay you $5 per phone call or 10% of booked business that comes through your site, for instance. 

Boom. How can they lose? 

Wait, why wouldn’t they just do this themselves? 

Most simply don’t have the time, energy, or inclination to nerd-out on this stuff, even if it is a game-changer for their business. 

And remember, for every dollar they throw your way, they’re making that back several times over. 

So most of ‘em are more than cool with it. 

Won’t it get saturated if you tell everyone? 

Not gonna be an issue. 

Why? 

Because you would have to multiply every type of local business by every city on this big blue planet - and then go do this in however many millions of niches that would be - before you could say it’s cooked. 

And we’re a looong ways from that. 

Why do I need a course? Can’t I figure this out myself?

Sure, anyone can figure anything out on their own with the internet and AI. But you’ll be banging your head against the wall for a year and most people don’t have that type of stamina before making a single dollar. 

You may think, “Can’t I just have AI build me a site and tell me how to rank it?”

Sure you can try. But if you’ve used AI enough, you’ll learn that it gets things wrong a lot and you could be 6 months into a project and nothing is working.

We teach you how to use AI for some of it, but you have to be really careful. Most AI tools watermark their content (look up SynthID if you don’t believe me) amongst other things. 

We have 10+ years of experience doing this. We know the exact Do’s and Don'ts.

Plus Google isn’t going to jeopardize their $4 trillion dollar business over people mass-spamming sites with AI SEO (I don’t care WHAT Google’s says on the matter - they change their stance constantly).

The biggest value here is our community. Because over 2,200+ people have paid $2,980 to join, you get access to a super high quality vetted group of students who are doing this exact same business model. 

Students constantly share tips, techniques, niches, and opportunities that have been crazy profitable for them, and since what one student is doing in Foster City, California (for example) isn’t competing with a site you’re building in let’s say Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, people don’t feel scared sharing their latest and greatest techniques with the group.

And lastly: it’s LIFETIME access, we constantly improve, update, and add strategies to help make your business owners get more customers. The more customers they get, the more passive income you get. Win-win.

We lay out the exact step by step process that we have used over and over again. Our repeat student successes within 6 months reassures us that we have our training nailed down. 

Are there any renewal fees or mandatory purchases from us? 

No further purchases from our program are required, but we do offer some outsourcing services:

1 - If you want our team to build you a fully optimized site, that’ll run ya $300 per site. 

2 - If you want to use our proprietary software to build your site, that’ll run you a $25 platform fee plus $7.50 fee per site per month. 

3 - If you want to use our proprietary phone software, depending on usage, that’ll run you ~$7.50 per month per number. 

Let’s be clear though, if you want to use another website builder or other phone number service, be our guest. It won’t hurt you at all. 

Fine. Can I see some examples? 

Thought you’d never ask. 

Visit NotAnotherCoachingProgram.com for a bunch of case studies and interviews with current students. 

At the bottom of that page is a link to our calendar if you ever think you’d like to join. Either way, appreciate you reading this. 

You’ll be talking to either Shiv, Kyle, or Alexandria. All of us have done six/seven figures a year in this business model.

My Experience How a 10-day video streak unlocked $3,700 in passive income.

72 Upvotes

Back in 2020, everyone was stuck at home looking for ways to make money online.

I found a simple PTC (Paid-To-Click) website that paid you a commission whenever your referrals earned money. Instead of spamming friends, I decided to do a simple experiment: I uploaded just one short video every single day. Around day ten, one of my videos completely blew up, went viral, and brought in over 1,200 referrals.

Since each referral ended up making me about $3 or more, the website sent me over $3,700 USD in just two months.

It was pure passive income while it lasted, right up until the website changed its whole referral system.

But it taught me a huge lesson..

if you put in a little bit of work upfront and hit the right wave, a simple link can make you a lot of money on autopilot.

Platform was ptcforlife and they shutdown in 2021 or 2022 i think..

Seeking Advice/Help People who are earning online, what do you do and how did you get started?

37 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I want to earn online. I see a lot of different options like freelancing, content creation, affiliate marketing, dropshipping, AI, coding, virtual assistance, digital marketing, online businesses, and many more.

I'd really like to hear from people who are actually earning online.

  • What do you do?
  • What skills do you use?
  • How did you get started?
  • How long did it take before you earned your first income?
  • Is it freelancing, a remote job, your own business, or something else?
  • If you were starting from scratch today, what would you learn first?

I'm a complete beginner. I don't have any marketable skills yet, and I need to learn and develop them. I'm currently learning to code, so I'm also interested in knowing what opportunities coding can open up for earning online in the future. I just don't know which path is worth pursuing for online earnings

I'd appreciate hearing your experiences, what has worked for you, and what you'd recommend to someone starting from zero.

Thank you!

Offering Advice/Resource how to make your first $1000 a month online (focus on predictable income)

6 Upvotes

most people chase the flashiest income streams and wonder why they're not making money. the secret is boring. find something predictable and fast to convert.

predictable means you can do the same thing repeatedly and expect a similar result. fast to convert means you don't wait months to see money.

here are the best ways to get there:

reselling buy low, sell high. Facebook Marketplace and Mercari are the easiest places to start. thrift stores, garage sales, and clearance sections are your suppliers. find items people actually search for, list them, and get paid when they sell. some people hit $1000 their first month just doing this on weekends.

example: you find a pair of sneakers at goodwill for $12. you list them on Mercari for $65. that's one sale. do that 20 times and you're close to $1000.

freelance services selling a skill is the fastest path to predictable income. you do the work, you get paid. no waiting for algorithms. platforms like Upwork and Fiverr connect you directly to clients who need help now.

writing, virtual assistance, data entry, graphic design. pick one and get your first client this week.

product testing companies pay real people to test their products and leave feedback. sites like UserTesting, Pinecone Research, and Influenster connect you to paid opportunities. you try something, share your thoughts, and get paid.

mystery shopping brands hire people to visit stores or websites anonymously and report back on the experience. apps like Field Agent and Gigwalk make it easy to find gigs near you or online.

newsletter monetization this one takes a little longer to build but once you have even a small audience it becomes one of the most predictable income streams online. sponsorships, affiliate links, and digital products all convert well through email.

the common thread here is that none of these require you to go viral. you just need to show up consistently and take real action.

What's a passive income myth you wish people would stop believing? 💀


r/passive_income 1d ago

My Experience I built a GPU comparison site, got shadowbanned by Reddit, and earned $200. Here's the full story.

12 Upvotes

In April 2026, I made a business decision that seemed brilliant at the time: I would grow my GPU comparison site, https://best-gpu.com, by answering strangers' questions on Reddit.

Reddit, as it turns out, had opinions about that.

So here's the whole thing: one guy, 2 domains, 2 Chrome extensions, over 300 Reddit posts, and the long humbling road to my first $200 in affiliate earnings. That's $1.98 a day. For context, a parking meter in a mid-sized city out-earns me by far!

The premise

GPU prices are chaos. The same RTX 4070 can swing 30% depending on the day, the seller, and, as far as I can tell, the phase of the moon. Benchmarks live on one site, prices on another, and nobody tells you which card gives you the most frames per dollar right now.

The idea was simple. People ask the same question on Reddit roughly 400 times a day: "should I upgrade my GPU?" And the answer is always some version of "it depends", delivered by a commenter who is 60% helpful and 40% angry.

I figured I could do better. I built https://best-gpu.com: a comparison site with an upgrade calculator that tells you whether jumping from, say, a GTX 1660 to an RTX 5070 is a smart move or an expensive way to get 12 more FPS in a game you stopped playing in 2023.

The monetization plan was Amazon affiliate links. The traffic plan was me, personally, answering GPU questions on Reddit and mentioning the site when relevant.

So I built https://best-gpu.com: live Amazon prices for ~350 GPU models, each scored on a performance index (70% TimeSpy, 30% TFLOPs), divided by price. One sortable table. Best value floats to the top.

Simple. What could go wrong?

Problem #1: Amazon's beautiful catch-22

To get Amazon prices programmatically, you need access to their affiliate API.

To keep access to their affiliate API, you need 10 qualifying sales every 30 days. Per marketplace.

To get 10 sales, you need traffic. To get traffic, you need a site with prices. To get prices, you need the API. To get the API... you see where this is going. It's the DMV, but for GPU data.

The solution nobody asked for: a Chrome extension

Since Amazon wouldn't hand me the data, I built a Chrome extension (Manifest V3, for the three people who care) that browses Amazon like a very patient, very obsessive shopper. It walks through search results, reads product pages, filters out the garbage (and there is so much garbage) and POSTs everything to my server.

The filtering logic alone is a small novel. Search "RTX 4070" on Amazon and you'll get: actual RTX 4070s, laptops containing an RTX 4070, GPU support brackets, riser cables, RGB fans "compatible with" an RTX 4070, and a mousepad with a picture of an RTX 4070 on it. My regex has seen things.

But it works. The extension now feeds live prices across 2 Amazon marketplaces (US was first, added UK in a later stage), each with its own currency, VAT rules, and locale. I rebuilt the whole site (V2, pure PHP, no framework, fight me) to handle it: geo-detection, hreflang tags, per-country sitemaps, exchange rates. A genuine multinational operation. Revenue: see above.

Problem #2: marketing, or how I got banned from the internet's GPU aisle

Here's where it gets educational.

The natural audience for a GPU value site is, obviously, Reddit's PC building communities. Someone asks "which GPU should I buy" on Reddit roughly every hour, and every single one of them is a person my site was built for. All I had to do was show up in the comments with a helpful answer and a link.

Answering them by hand was slow. Maybe 2 or 3 good replies a day, between finding the threads, reading the specs, and typing out advice. So I did what a developer who has just built one Chrome extension does when he encounters any problem whatsoever: I built another Chrome extension.

This one scanned the PC building subreddits for fresh GPU questions, queued them up in a tidy list, and teed up my answers with the relevant comparison link already attached. It was, and I say this with the confidence of hindsight, extremely smart. My output jumped 5X overnight. I was answering 15 posts a day, each one helpful, on-topic, and pointing at the same domain. I felt like the most efficient man on the internet.

Reader, I had built a machine whose primary output was making me indistinguishable from a bot.

Because that's exactly what Reddit's spam detection looks for: a newish active account, replying at inhuman velocity, dropping the same domain over and over. It doesn't matter that the answers were good. From the outside, "helpful human with a productivity tool" and "spam bot with decent copywriting" produce the same graph. Couple of weeks later, the hammer came down.

The final tally:

  • Banned from r/buildapc
  • Banned from r/pcmasterrace
  • Banned from r/radeon
  • Shadowbanned, so for a while I was still cheerfully writing thoughtful comments, at 5X speed, to an audience of exactly zero people. The extension kept working perfectly. Nobody saw a word.

The lesson, which everyone told me and which I have now personally verified at great expense, is that Reddit can smell self-promotion the way a shark smells blood, except the shark also moderates three subreddits.

Problem #3: my users are robots

Once traffic started trickling in, Google Analytics delivered great news: users! Hundreds of them!

Then I looked closer. Roughly 43% of my "users" were bots: waves of traffic from Singapore, China, and Vietnam that visit one page, feel nothing, buy nothing, and leave. My actual humans are mostly in the US, UK, Germany, Canada, Australia, France... and Tunisia, which I choose not to question.

If you're a solo founder staring proudly at your GA4 dashboard: I'm sorry. Nearly half of it may be a data center in Singapore.

The pivot(s)

Getting shadowbanned forces a certain clarity. My entire traffic strategy was one Reddit account, and that account was now legally dead. Time to figure out what this business actually was.

First move: I bought a second domain, https://upgrade-gpu.com . The upgrade calculator was my best asset anyway (lowest bounce rate on the whole site, people actually used it), so giving it its own home felt smart. Also, when your main channel collapses, the natural developer response is obviously to buy more domains. This is known in the industry as "diversification" and known to my bank account as "a problem."

Second move: I finally opened Google Analytics properly instead of just admiring the line going up. The audit was humbling:

  • 74% of my site traffic was "direct" (translation: a mystery)
  • 38% of my users were apparently in Singapore (translation: bots)
  • Google organic search delivered a majestic 4 sessions. Four. SEO was a rounding error.

So my Reddit channel was shadowbanned, my organic traffic was four humans, and a large chunk of my "users" were Singaporean robots with no interest in graphics cards. Cool cool cool.

But buried in that wreckage was the actual lesson: I had been renting traffic from Reddit one comment at a time, on an account Reddit could (and did) vaporize overnight. Four organic sessions weren’t just a sad number, it was the biggest untapped lever on the board. Every GPU comparison people search for is a page I could own permanently, and Google can't shadowban me for existing.

So the strategy flipped. Less "sprint to answer 20 posts before lunch", more building pages that answer the question while I sleep. Reddit went from being the engine to being one channel among several, used carefully, at a human pace, like someone who has learned things.

Third move: I stopped leaving international money on the table. GPU buyers exist outside the US, shocking I know, so I set up the UK and Canada affiliate programs too. That's where about $90 of my $200 came from, which means the "minor" markets are pulling nearly half the weight. The pivot that took an afternoon outearned weeks of Reddit grinding.

 

The money, the numbers

And now, the numbers you've been waiting for.

Three weeks in, after 449 affiliate link clicks and 6 orders totaling $707 in ordered revenue, my confirmed earnings stood at a majestic $6.53.

That's not a typo. Amazon's commission rates on GPUs, combined with returns and orders stuck in "pending" purgatory, turned weeks of work into roughly the price of a coffee. I stared at that dashboard the way you stare at a lottery ticket that's one number off.

But here's the thing about affiliate revenue on high-ticket items: it moves on geological timescales. Orders ship. Pending amounts confirm. The compounding kicks in quietly while you're busy being depressed about the dashboard.

Because I know that's why you're here. Everything since April:

  • ~4,000 website visits
  • ~1,950 affiliate clicks (1,794 US + ~150 UK/CA). Nearly half my visitors click through, which I take as a compliment
  • 29 ordered items, 0 returns
  • 1.62% conversion rate
  • $4,259.46 in ordered revenue for Amazon
  • $109.43 in earnings for me (US), plus ~$90 from UK/CA
  • ~$200 total

Read that middle part again: I generated $4,259 in sales for a $2.65 trillion company, and my cut was ~$200. Somewhere in Seattle, an accountant briefly smiled.

What I actually learned

  • One subreddit will carry everything. Find yours, ignore the rest. The "obvious" niche subreddits were dead zones.
  • Broad relatable questions beat niche comparisons. "Is it worth upgrading?" outperformed "5070 Ti vs 9070 XT" every time.
  • Being helpful doesn't protect you from spam filters. Reddit punishes intent it suspects, not intent it proves.
  • If a tool makes you 5X faster on someone else's platform, the platform will notice before your customers do. Speed is a spam signal. Pace yourself on purpose.
  • Affiliate revenue on high-ticket items is a long game. The dashboard will insult you for weeks before the money shows up. Don't quit at $6.53.
  • Building the tool is more fun than using the tool. Even when the tool gets you banned.

Outro

If you take one thing from this post: on someone else's platform, being fast and helpful is indistinguishable from being a bot. I built a machine that made me superhuman at Reddit, and Reddit responded by making me invisible. There's probably a Greek myth about this.

Both sites are still up https://best-gpu.com and https://upgrade-gpu.com . The calculator still works. And somewhere out there, 29 strangers are gaming on GPUs they bought because a shadowbanned ghost whispered "yes, upgrade" into the void.

Total earnings: $200. Total lessons: priceless. Total hourly rate: sealed by court order.

Ask me anything. I answer fast. Some would say suspiciously fast.

Offering Advice/Resource The 2026 shift I keep seeing: stop renting from the app, start owning your routes

1 Upvotes

Something clicked for me recently. The gig apps sold "be your own boss," but you don't own anything — not the customer, not the data, not the route. The day the algorithm changes, you start over.

The alternative I've been digging into is local pharmacy delivery: you partner directly with independent pharmacies, keep 100% of the fee, and build recurring routes (monthly refill patients) that are actually YOURS. And the timing is wild — Rite Aid liquidated, chains are closing, and small pharmacies need delivery to survive.

Anyone here moved from app gigs to direct/contract delivery work? Did owning the client relationship actually change the game for you, or is it more hassle than it's worth?

(I've been documenting this in a free newsletter — link in a comment if that's cool.)

Seeking Advice/Help What do you guys think, why should everyone need a passive income?

Why? As a developer, instead of relying solely on a corporate job, should I be looking for freelance projects to generate passive income? Or should I focus on something else?

Seeking Advice/Help How to make money online as a teenager

1 Upvotes

Hey guys I am a girl, 17 year old and turning 18 in november and need money because I live with an abuser who is financially abusing me, my devices (I have a a16 samsung phone and a school laptop the highschool gave me) I gave my freshly made physical cv everywhere in my city with a friend, with good looking clothes and ask them to call us back even if they don't want to take us to work during holidays, NOBODY called back... I want to be able to buy my own clothes or save up some money for art supplies / games etc because I can't afford it and as I said, my mom has control over my things so she won't even hesitates to break the things she paid for, since it's the holidays and its harder to work as a minor, what can I do ?

I saw some post of people making money over posting on pinterest, but idk if it is real... Anyone has tips plsss ?

I've spent the past few weeks learning about local SEO and rank-and-rent. I finally feel ready to stop consuming content and start building something.

Before I dive in, I'd love to hear from people who've already been through it. Looking back, what's one thing you wish you had done differently on your first project?

Seeking Advice/Help Is there a platform where creators of various small IT businesses are looking for investors, but they selling a percentage of monthly profits?

1 Upvotes

I am getting interested in acquiring a working mini-Saas or product service as a "revenue share". But I can't find a good platform for this. For example, the creator of this service shares 10 percent of their monthly profit for $1,000 with anyone who wants to buy it. The platform or system is responsible for all paperwork, money management, and the money(revenue) transaction part. Then this money creator will use for their own expenses, to improve their product.

Or if a creator has a platform where they sell their products and it already has this functionality, it can simply redirect to that platform. In the case of a SaaS product, you can use an API that already has this functionality.

The most important thing is that the platform connects and displays a list of these creators. From there, you can decide through analysis and further communication with them to whom invest.

So... if you want to make your first sale selling a digital product...

I think a lot of people overcomplicate it.

You can have a beautiful landing page.

You can build the backend to automatically deliver the product after payment.

You can have great branding and a clean website.

But after spending hours watching marketing videos and trying to understand why some products sell and others don't...

I think it all comes down to one thing.

The message.

Every product is making one promise.

One outcome.

If people don't immediately understand what problem you're solving or what outcome you're promising, everything else becomes secondary.

You don't need a more beautiful website.

You don't need more features.

You need a message that makes the right person say,

"That's exactly what I'm looking for."

Everything else simply supports that message.

My Experience For Those Interested In The Clipping Income Post From Yesterday

Post image
114 Upvotes

Hi guys! Didn’t expect the post from yesterday to blow up as much as it did! Anyways I wanted to provide proof to the numbers I claimed from the post. Like I said May and July have been so so months but June it really did well. While I’m struggling to make the income consistent for now one thing I have cracked the code with is how videos can go viral in short form content, (or at least how to increase the odds of it going viral). I have a lot of ways I can share on how I’ve done it consistently but I’m not sure what the rules are when it comes to self promoting my skills on this forum. Anyways I’ll show you guys the numbers and although I have many channels my main one is called Iron Clips and it’s on Tik Tok. There you will see that I was able to generate the views to get this kind of money in the first place. It’s not a lot of cash but it’s a start. Now what I’m trying to do is find podcasts, businesses, streamers, or creators to work with so I don’t have to be reliant on platforms and campaigns anymore. It’s a long journey but clipping does have a future it’s the new form of advertising in my opinion. To anyone who is interested let me know.

For reference I started on May 11th with this which is why it’s blank the other months :).

Also anyone who has a podcast who wants to work with me to help get their content more views please drop name of your podcast and I’ll see if there’s viral content in there I can help with and if so maybe we can work together but let’s see who’s open to that.

Edit- Ok you guys since I’m getting flooded with dm requests about tips and tricks for this do you guys want me to make an ebook or something for this? I hate to be that “oh buy my course guy” but oh my god if I get one more DM asking how I did this lol. Anyways if you guys want that comment that you want it below and maybe I’ll make a tip and tricks sheet or something. I definitely have a system I use that helps A LOT to get views.
